The former Army captain, bestselling author, and anti-poverty advocate, who will be sworn in this week as Maryland's first African American governor, talks about his unique career path to the governor's residence in Annapolis.
"Politics is a very humbling business," said Wes Moore."When we were first got into this race, I was polling at 1%!" Moore is a bestselling author, former Army captain, and now, as a first-time's-the-charm politician, Maryland's Democratic governor-elect. He won in a landslide, beating his Republican opponent with more than twice as many votes."We ended up receiving 89% of the vote in Baltimore," he said.
"I think we have to approach this that it's not about what program can we institute, right? It's about how are we changing the entire human condition that people are existing in."Governor-elect Wes Moore of Maryland. "It's a very tall order, but it's doable," Moore said."We've gotta change the entire ecosystem.
"I love this work! I'd never run for public office before, but I've been a public servant for my entire life." Sanneh asked,"You've got two kids who grew up here in Baltimore. How did you sell them on Annapolis?"Bishop Donte Hickman, who leads Southern Baptist Church in East Baltimore, where Moore is a member, said the congregation is very excited that one of their own will be running the state government. Hickman told Sanneh that they had to push Moore to run:"We really felt like he had the moral compass and clarity, and that he could build consensus around the state.
"That's probably right! And I think about how different that could've turned out, right? Because in my case, I'm sitting there in the back of a police car with my friend, and then eventually after, you know, a talk and a lecture, the officer pulls me out of the car, unlocks the cuffs, and lets me go."It's a story he told in his bestselling 2011 memoir,"The Other Wes Moore.
